Food is not authentic. Price is a scam/rip off, not worth your money. Go elsewhere.

The food is not bad. However, there are two things made us frustrated. First, this place is not friendly to people who have food allergies. One member of our party couldn't have rice noodles so we were wondering if we could substitute the rice noodles to wheat noodles. The waiter said no immediately without a second thought. Ok that's fine. What really upsets us is his attitude. He was really impatient while we told him we need more time as the person having allergies needs to find another dish. The waiter just pointed at several dishes and said we could order those dishes instead. It's like he just wanted to "get things done". The food was not bad, but this experience is really not pleasant. We decided that we won't visit this place again.

It is ok. Meat quality wasn’t great and overpriced. Taste is ok. Pancake sauce is too tiny. Banchan is also too small compared with souel garden and taste not good.

I went here with a group of 3 couples to have Korean bbq and do some karaoke and we were not disappointed. It was popping the night we went and the staff forgot a few things, but were very apologetic when reminded and quick to bring out what we were missing. I loved everything we had to eat and the sharing experience with friends was so fun! The best has to be the karaoke!!! We got the smaller room which was a bit cramped and got a little hot with 6 people, but you cannot beat getting to hog the mic with only 6 people. On top of that, the staff let us stay and sing while they cleaned up for an hour AND didn't come in during the middle of the song, they let us finish up before we went. Love this place for a date, a group outing, and it is probably really good for carry out too.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant and I will definitely be back! I didn't know what to order and the waitress was very helpful and nice!Their service was Impeccable! They were busy but multiple people besides out waitress kept stopping to ask if we needed any help.The food was really good. We had the Bul Go Gi Dol Pan, which cooked tableside. It was super flavorful and it was $45, but enough to feed 3 people.We also had the Gal Bi Gu Yi (bone-in short ribs) and they were great too. The only complaint is that there's not a lot of meat. The bone takes up a lot of the meat, but it has good flavor. It was also a little tough, but I would buy it again.The sides the brought out were different but good. The potato salad was Absolutely Amazing! I would order that as a solo dish.I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to try Korean food.

This place has average Korean food. Nothing too special about it. The menu consists of more casual comfort foods. I think the most surprising part of the restaurant how cheap they are with their side dishes. Not all the entrees come with side dishes and if they do, it’s just two of them (kimchi and broccoli) and they aren’t very good. If you want 4 side dishes, you have to pay an additional fee. Usually Korean food can be a little expensive, but Im usually okay with it since the side dishes come with it. But here, paying $20 for a rice bowl after tip just isn’t worth it.
